Libre 3 Plus Sensor Covers Waterproof

These are plastic and are very comfortable. The product is a composite of a paper peel away layer where the sticky is, the cover itself, and an outer peelable plastic cover with a split in the center of the blue stripe. Getting skin clean is an issue. Won't adhere unless prepared properly. Skin that has sagged will likely stretch away from these and come off. Stretch and Flatten the skin if you can. This is the tricky part, but is essential to the application of the cover. Once the cover is thoroughly adhered on your skin you can peel this outer layer with the blue stripe off, but there are some tips to help you. Just be certain it is very well applied to the skin first. They last for many days, at least. In order to prep the cover a couple of steps prior will help a successful application ( see pix ). The cover itself is very thin and flexible and will stick to anything. So care in application will enhance your success. Separating the harder plastic on the outside at the blue stripe will help significantly getting successful contact. Even though the two halves are cut they are stuck very well. Next, peel two of the three covers on the bottom. This allows positioning the cover precisely while not getting it stuck to your fingers. Place it as centered as you can. Rub the edges flat and ensure great contact. Now, peel the last piece of paper off and rub in place. The cover will be well adhered IF you prepared the skin properly. Now the blue stripe. If you pre-separated the outer pieces it will now be easy to peel those off. You are done.

I am a 59-year-old female and have some experience with applying these. At this age and with MS, my shoulders have stiffened some. So, with that in mind, here is the review. Warning. If you have very fragile easy-to-rip skin and cannot handle tape on your skin after a blood draw or IV, this isn’t for you. Now on to the rest of the review. I have used two different covers. They both were the donut shape with a hole in the middle. Those work good, but applying them just right was a real pain. I have ripped a few of the sensors off with those. But hey. That’s BETTER than the pulling off 30 or 40%. I had to order some new ones and the company I used wasn’t In business anymore. . I started browsing amazing and found these clear patches with no hole. Intrigued, I bought them. The first one my husband applied failed. So, I pulled up the video for him to watch. When he was done the patch had a wrinkle or two but worked wonderfully. He watched the video for a second time with the next one. And he watched it one more time with this oath to make sure he had the ro down correctly. This is the third application. How to apply: Watch the video Very carefully remove the first oice if paper and then lay the sticky part down and give it a gentle rub, making sure it is on the arm. Then the other side. Take your time with the blue part, one at a time, smoothing as you go. I always go back starting at the middle, rub a once around the sensor and then smooth it out in a downward motion, not a circle. The patch did not move. The sensor did not move. I stumble a lot. I have multiple sclerosis. I took a really hard fall four days ago. I Bruised my body from head to the bottom of my feet! The sensor was still intact!! That was so cool. I've showered with it, having no problem sliding a cloth hitting it and knocking it off it off. I dressed and never noticed the sensor because my clothes pulled right over the sensor. I have a seven year old grandchild who likes to rough play and give me big huge hugs. He has knocked them off before. I had No problem with this. I have no more anxiety., nor my grandson, about knocking this off! Sweating doesn't loosen it Now, for taking it off. And here is why I issued the warning above. That patch is attached so well, that when you pull it off, it pulls off with reluctance. It has not taken the sensor with it. I still have to remove it afterward. So far, to me, this receives 100% This is, by far, the best cover I have ever used. And don't worry, you will be able to scan through the plastic. It's very thin and very durable. It is so worth trying. You won't be disappointed.

I had high hopes for the 60Pack Libre Sensor Covers, Latex-Free Medical Adhesive Patches for Libre 2/3, but unfortunately, they fell short of my expectations. While the idea of having a latex-free, pre-cut adhesive patch to secure my CGM sensor seemed great, these patches did not perform well, especially under normal daily conditions. Not Sweat-Resistant One of the biggest issues I encountered was that these patches are not sweat-resistant. I wear my Libre sensor during workouts, as well as through regular daily activities, and the patch couldn’t handle even moderate perspiration. After a light exercise session, the edges of the patch started to peel off, and it barely stayed in place. For a product that’s meant to protect a medical device that’s worn 24/7, this is a major flaw. Poor Adhesion Even outside of exercise, the adhesive did not hold up well. On multiple occasions, the patch began to lift and peel within just 2-3 hours of application. I expected these patches to stay secure for at least a full day, but that was not the case. I found myself constantly having to press down the edges to keep them from completely coming off. For anyone leading an active lifestyle or even just going about their daily routines, this constant reapplication is frustrating and impractical. Not Durable Enough I had hoped these patches would last through showers, workouts, and everyday wear, but they didn’t even last long enough to make it through a normal workday. If you’re looking for something that provides reliable protection for your CGM sensor, these patches aren’t it. I found myself replacing them frequently, which defeats the purpose of a long-lasting, medical-grade adhesive. Final Thoughts Overall, I was disappointed with the 60Pack Libre Sensor Covers. Despite being advertised as a reliable, medical-grade product, the lack of sweat resistance and poor adhesion made them unusable for me. If you need a patch that will stay on through normal activities or workouts, I would recommend looking for a more durable and sweat-resistant option. For those who are active or live in humid climates, this product just won’t hold up.

Update. The seller has been great contacting me and sending me detailed instructions for application. 3rd use. After watching video i applied as directed. Patch stayed in place during shower. There are no peeling edges and is comfortable. I raised to 4 stars due to seller and product price and use. I have arthritis in my hands so peeling off the outer layer was a little difficult. Im still hesitant about swimming. Patch became loose and inteferred with scanning so i removed after 5 hours. I would use in shower snd bath without hesitation. Still not risking swimming for great length of time. Day 1 using. Great idea and shipping. Fell off in tub with MINIMAL amount of water and was not submerged. I will try again this evening. I may clean the area with alcohol prep pads before adhering... first impression is..i wont be swimming with the libre2 monitor with this patch 2nd use. I cleaned my skin with alcohol and applied patch. There were a few wrinkles so i added medical tape. Held in place during shower, but was coming off. I gave a 2 for quick shipping and design. Adhesive is below 1 NOT APPROVED FOR SWIMMIMG.

I’ve just tried this sensor patch for the first time and I am impressed! They act like a second skin and they show no sign of flipping up on one side or moving or anything! After applying it I ran my hand over it and you just can’t tell that it isn’t your skin! I did get tripped up in applying it and asked for help. Also it won’t be easy for me to remove the outer layer with the pink strip because of a previous broken bone and a mobility issue. I may be able to use tweezers and do it but I’m not sure. The package came with 60 and I ruined several while figuring it out but I found the patch I need for my sensor! I am a customer for life!

Very good idea but hard to get backing off & get on the arm to cover the sensor keeps wadding up. I think if it had 1 piece backing it would be easier to put on

Love these clear covers to protect my CGM sensors. They stay on pretty well. I use Skin Tac adhesive wipes to help them stay put. Recommended.

I gave this product two stars, when I really wanted to give it one star. This is the second time that I purchased this product. It was in a different packaging the first time. However, it is the same company. The first time I purchased this product, I had to literally pull the tape from my arm, that's how strong the adhesive was. Getting wet didn't effect the adhesive. Now the adhesive is weak, and the patch seems cheap. Without getting wet. It falls off very very easily. It doesn't stick to my skin. The patch is flimsy, and the adhesive is weak . I recommend that you purchase another product that will do the same thing, with better adhesive, and a sturdier patch.
